Drawings Since my Recent Come-Back (Vlad)

[Vladneyro]

Hi ya'll :)
Here are my new drawings in chronological order:

1) Kempinski Hotel Odessa in Odessa, Ukraine:

2) Space Research Center w/ RT-70 radar in Yevpatoria, Crimea, Ukraine:

3) Hotel "Kyivska Rus" in Kyiv, Ukraine (I think the height should be a bit less - so I put my estimated height - and I had some problems fitting in the correct number of floors - so the look a bit big now... - I think I ought to redraw it)

4) Apartment Complex "Bashnya" (Tower) almost complete in Dnipropetrovsk (formerly Kodak), Ukraine:

(It looks like smthng is wrong on the left side - Should be brighter than the front side rather than darker ?)

5) Condominium Building under construction in Kyiv, Ukraine

8 ) Hotel Hradetsky (Gradecky) in Chernigiv, Ukraine:

9) PryvatBank Headquaters Building, in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. BTW - it's built RIGHT on the very edge of the Dnipro riverbank on a very soft soil with that angeled side facing the river. And those dark floors on the bottom are basically a margin for a building to slowwly sink (I assume, cos those floors are not really used):

10) Hotel "Sport" in Kyiv, Ukraine (see on the right side that flat wall looks like it's angled, which makes the whole building look angled - but in fact - it is drawn straing on! I donno what to do with it :( )

11) Hotel "Lugansk" in Lugansk, Ukraine. (Old soviet-style building - it actually looks prettier as a drawing than in life :) )

So that's basically it :)

[Jai-C]

These are really nice :)

My favourites are PromInvest, Hotel "Sport" and Hotel Hradetsky, but the others are nice as well. Only Bashnya Tower looks a bit blurry - have you tried to sharpen it?

[Buck]

I'm glad you're back! I love your drawing style. :)

[Vladneyro]

Thanks Jai-C and Buck.

About the "Bashnia" - I tried - and it looks more cartoonish - I think I'll have to correct it manually.

And the buildings that you mentioned - I think I portrayed the material pretty good (Actually it was mostly luck :) ).

How about PryvatBank (9) ? I thought that was my best.. I mean I think so cos I put more time and efgfort into it. The only problem was that floors are 3.3m - I think you know what that means :(

[Jai-C]

Yes that seems to be complex. But from my own experience I can say that the most difficult drawings don't always turn out to be the best ones...

[Tony]

Really nice!

I particularly like the satellite dish & PromInvest Bank
:D

[Vladneyro]

Yeah, Tony - The satellite dish is KEWEL, I like it too.

And, Jai-C, I guess you're right - complicated buildings don't usually turn out good... That's the sad truth :)

[Jared]

those are some nice drawings vlad!

[Vladneyro]

Thanks Jared! Do you really mean it ;) He-He

12) Here's a very small new one in Kharkiv, Ukraine:

[Sher]

Those are great, Vlad. Keep up the good work! 8)

[Vladneyro]

To Tze, Sherman :)

[realcity]

Awesome

I like 2, 4, 6, 8,

Those look like vector art to me. Are they? Illustrator, Freehand etc.

[Vladneyro]

Thanks realcity.

Actually I draw only in Photoshop 5.0 :)
No vector art - except sometimes I use something like vector drawing for some parts of the buildings - but actually it's all "paint-like" drawing...

Why did you think it was vector art anyways?

[Vladneyro]

Allright, here are 2 new ones:

13) Hotel "Druzhba" (Friendship :) ) in Lugansk, Ukraine:

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=22087&drawingID=17317

14) Kharkov National University in the name of N.V.Karazin :)

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=22711&drawingID=17322

Whew - the University was hard...

[Jai-C]

Whew - the University was hard...

But the drawing is execellent - very good shading... :)

[Vladneyro]

Hey - Thanks Jai-C.
somehow I'm inclined to believe that I'm better at stone buildings than I'll ever be at glass ones.
You, on the other hand are, what I call "GlassMaster" :)
BTW - 90% of my rawings are done at 1:1 - so in some cases hat makes it harder - but at least I have full controll over final outcome.

[Jai-C]

Okay 'StoneMaster' :D

I did my drawings mostly in 1:1 scale - much fewer pixels to paint ;)

[Vladneyro]

LOL, Jai-C :)

OK here's new one (I'm not sure if it turned out well or not - I drew it at night in the dark...

15) Apartment complex on 3, Gali Tymofeevoji St. in Kyiv, Ukraine

Vlad, are you learning mandarin as well? :)

[caw123]

Nice drawings Vlad.

[Vladneyro]

Vlad, are you learning mandarin as well? :)

Toi Le :)
It's easier tone-wise - "ONLY" 4 instead of 6-9 in Cantonese :)
surprisingly I can perfectly hear and reproduce with 80-90% accuracy the tones - so I guess I'm and unusual NON-tone-deaf "Transparent(white) Ghost" :) HEHE

Oh, and thanks Caw ! I'm trying really hard - I treat drawing lately almost like work - since I'm leaving pretty soon - I'm trying to get as much of them as possible - so I come from work, eat and start drawing/etc untill like 3am and in the morning the cycle repeats...
